Chapter 30
Almost as soon as the phone rang, the little man took it out to answer it. His body, which was two sizes smaller than a normal adult, subconsciously stood up from the sofa, his face became respectful, and he muttered, yes, yes, and nodded from time to time. .Maybe it was the serious and heavy heart of the little man, the conversation lasted only a minute or two, but Saori felt it was too long.When the call ended, the little man looked at the phone screen for a while as if to make sure that the other party had gone away, and then heaved a long sigh.
"I said, can we arrange this kind of thing earlier next time?" The little man sat back on the sofa, put his hands on his neck and stretched it slightly, and looked at Saori. "It's not easy for us. Do you know how troublesome it is to take a big man out? Needless to say, taking a plane, even if you get to a place, it is quite difficult to find a suitable means of transportation. Walking is too tiring, and taxis are not available once. It will let us get on it, the subway bus is eye-catching, well, let’s rent a car, firstly, we have to rent an expensive RV, commercial vehicle, etc., secondly, we also need to hire a driver, which is quite expensive!”
The little man sighed again as if enduring resentment, and finally took the hat and patted the dust on his knees and stood up. "In short, the situation has changed. For you, it should be a change for the better. Then, see you tomorrow." He put on his hat, stopped the fat man who was still scratching the door frame with relish, and walked away.
As if they had made up their minds, the police arrived as soon as they left.The neighbor next door called the police. After all, no matter how quiet the destruction was, there was movement, and the fat man was indeed too conspicuous.Saori looked around the living room where the table corners were piled with sawdust and cotton, and only told the police that they had just moved in and were preparing for renovation.I was still thinking about the little man's phrase "the situation has changed".
It must have something to do with Aozora.Is this Aozora's solution?Bypass those conditional aid and go directly to the source of the debt?But how can she find it?This kind of organization, which is hidden underground from the eyes of the world, has to fight to negotiate terms... Or is she a member of it in the first place?Is this the reason why she said it was partly broken?Saori felt uncontrollably distressed at the thought of this.However, I am still puzzled intellectually: like this, a lonely and stubborn member of an organization who likes movies and has good education and knowledge?
If possible, Saori wants to go back to the small town, and try to find Xiaoyu in the apartment building next to the middle school again, or use the key left by Aozora to go to the study, do nothing, just touch the key she left behind. Cardigan sits quietly for a while.But no, she still has her parents and family to appease. Although the workers have temporarily stabilized and agreed to go to work, the management has to hold a meeting to explain the situation, and the financial personnel have to be rearranged. There are also shareholders, suppliers, banks... Shazhi shook her head, The situation is not getting better. Even the debt collectors are only temporarily away. Like the little man said, we will see you tomorrow.
Sure enough, the next morning, at 06:30 in the morning, the doorbell rang again.Saori was already prepared this time, she put on a formal suit and put on light makeup and waited in the living room.
Opening the door, Saori was stunned for a moment by the contrast of one tall and one short. She probably couldn't get used to this kind of picture no matter how many times she watched it.Saori thought, stepping aside to welcome them in.
Just like yesterday, the little man raised his hat and bowed slightly, with a childish smile on his face, carefully looking around the living room. "Tsk tsk. You're very efficient, Miss Saori. You cleaned it up so quickly, even the door and the doorbell were repaired. It seems that the big guy didn't have much fun yesterday." The expression on his face seemed regretful.
Saori watched in silence as the little man sat down on one end of the couch with ease, and then the fat man also came and sat on the other end, filling up the remaining space completely as soon as he sat down, and the sofa made a panting sound, but this time there was no sound. collapse.The little man moved a little to the side as usual, and twirled the hat he took off in his hands. It was different from yesterday, a light gray gentleman hat with checkered stripes.
The two just sat like this, with no intention of having a conversation.The living room was empty, except for the sofa where three people were sitting, the rest of the furniture was completely destroyed yesterday. Although it was a new place where there were not many items, it was quite impressive to be able to destroy it so completely in a short period of time. Surprised—you can pull off your ears and snap your fingers off one by one if you want—like making such a statement.
For a while, Saori kept staring at the tall and short figures on the opposite side, imagining that Qingkong's tall, thin and thin body was doing similar things.
"Excuse me, do you know Fang Qingkong?" Saori finally couldn't help asking.
"Fang, Qing, Kong." The little man paused while turning his hat, his eyes turned to the upper right. "No." Then he turned his head to confirm with the fat man: "No, right?"
The fat man's cloudy eyeballs moved, and he shook his head slightly.
The three of them fell silent again.For the next half hour or so, no one spoke, and the little man with crossed legs leisurely picked the dirt under his nails, showing no intention of explaining nor impatient.Saori only glanced at him, and then looked away. He made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart, mixed with fear, nausea, and disgust that made her scalp tingle.Fortunately, after the two left yesterday, she asked her parents, sister-in-law and nephew to live in the hotel, only her father was worried and insisted on staying with her.
The silence of waiting for something to happen takes a very long time, like the time when a roller coaster goes to the top of the track and waits for it to slide down. The mountain wind blows over the top of the head. The scenery in front of me is a little distorted because of fear, and the heart is pounding violently. move……
At this moment the bell rang.Just like yesterday, the little man quickly took out his phone and pressed the answer button.After a brief response with a respectful expression, he hung up, took out two neatly folded documents from the inner pocket of his coat, spread them out one by one for confirmation, put away one, and handed the other to Saori with a golden signature pen before.
"Look. Like I said, things have turned around for the better," the little man said with a smile.
Saori took the file silently and quickly browsed through it.The document is not long, but it lists in detail the debts owed, the method of handling collateral, the installment period, interest, repayment method, transfer account, accumulative charges for arrears and how to deal with them, etc. Taking a big step, the high interest accrued on the previous gambling debts was exempted, and they were allowed to repay the principal and redeem the collateral step by step in the form of installment payments.It's just that the debt will be transferred from her brother Zhang Ziqing to her name.
Saori glanced at the last signature, Li Weiguo was written on the creditor's side, which was the same as the creditor's signature on the loan agreement last time I saw my brother in memory.
Until this moment, Saori could be sure that Qing Kong had indeed found a way out for her in his own way.I just don't know how much she paid for Saori biting her lip.
